                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 15, 1998

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Alpha 
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. On the occasion of its 1998 South Carolina 
District Conference which will be held in Orangeburg, S.C. beginning 
October 22nd.
  Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was founded at Cornell University in 
Ithaca, New York. It is a service fraternity which employs its members 
to discount evil, destroy all prejudices, and preserve the sanctity of 
the home, the personification of virtue, and the chastity of women.
  This year's conference, being held in my district, is designed to 
promote the empowerment of youth through education, appreciative 
concepts of self, a strong sense of duty, discipline, and love for all 
mankind.
  Mr. Willie Jefferson serves as the District Director and Mr. J. 
Anthony Moorer and Mr. Henry L. Robinson are the co-chairmen of the 
1998 conference.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the South Carolina chapters 
of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. for their accomplishments. And I 
ask that my colleagues join me in wishing them great success with next 
week's 1998 South Carolina District Conference.

                          ____________________
